this page now just says 'catch you later' ?

Shocked

okay this just came in via email to me:

from: rebirth.tenth.movieSPLATgmail.com
to: mr.smalls.appetiteSPLATgmail.com

subject: "It's in between the echoes where you'll find me..."

SAID TOO MUCH NOW MUST PAY THE FINAL PRICE


edit: in my email the capital letters were hidden and showed up when
i highlighted the page-- since the gate is considerably smaller today
i would guess that we are looking at something happening when the
countdown reaches 13 rather than zero-- (is today 17?)

I received the same mail as well.. addressed to the mr smalls as well

you'd almost think of a mailing list..

Might be a good thing to email mr smalls to see what happens.

Here's your daily update.

The gate pic is now at 300px by 225px.
And the source says.
<!-- &#43&#47&#92 -->

I wonder if this guy is just messing with us. :/


The source numbers look like html entities to me, unfortunately they would decode as:
+/\
(plus sign)(slash)(backslash)

Doesn't seem to be much help

our source "countdown" so far:
Quote:

<!-- Rebirth. Tenth. Movie. Twenty Four. -->
<!-- 2453705.45325-23 -->
<!-- 334-22 -->
<!-- 7 * 3 -->
<!-- =+ -->
<!-- +9 -->
<!-- &#43&#47&#92 -->


somehow that last series is 18? (i can come up with 18 but my method makes absolutely no sense in relation to our other countdown "codes"-- )
add the 4 and 3 of 43 and you have 7
add the 4 and 7 of 47 and you have 11
together they are 18
(and just forget about the rest of the numbers) Confused

I just e-mailed Mr. Smalls... or his appetite... or whatever, and it bounced back. I got the same e-mail as the rest of you, by the way.

I'm starting to see why they're called "ARGs"... it's not because it's short for "Alternate Reality Game". It's because that's the phrase you continually want to yell while playing them.

just got the exact same email as the rest of you guys

gonna go start poking around the old splinterworld site here in a little while, hope at least something comes up

Also, i'm pretty sure that the photo didn't start to get smaller until around the time that the source code changed from a straight-up countdown (of sorts) to the other stuff that it is now. Just a thought.

Not sure if you're using gmail or not, but if you are, just hover over the "to mr.smalls.appe" part for a couple seconds and it pops up with the whole address.


Found a new contact information page on the old splinterworld site.

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:CFnO6CdzSHoJ:www.splinterworld.com/popup_contact.php+splinterbitch&hl=en

It tells what each e-mail is supposed to be contacted for in the little drop down box. There are a couple new e-mail addresses on there.

Also, I found what appears to be Splinterbitch's blog:
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:4-StkYyvVcwJ:www.splinternails.com/blogs/bitchblog/archives/blather/index.php, which has a few links to other sections of the site. So far, the most interesting link I've found was the MTLogin one, which leads to a username/password box... which, if accessed, would allow a person to edit the blog. Now I'm really starting to wonder if this is looking behind the curtain... It's too bad the webcams on there don't work, as they sound pretty interesting too.

an updated list of the image sizes:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
start - 800 x 600
11/09 - 600 x 450
11/10 - 500 x 375
11/11 - 300 x 225
11/12 - 100 x 75


edit: the picture's so tiny now! maybe we're looking at november 13th (i think someone said that REBIRTH. TENTH. MOVIE. roted out to NOVEMBER THIRTEENTH) rather than the countdown reaching 13?

If I count correctly:
Today is (november) 13. D-day but countdown in not 0 or 13 for 17 or 4 days.

Maybe now the gate starts opening and that will take 4 days... or 17.

[edit] Indeed calender. As it is a constructed countdown (duh) we may be looking at 3 countdowns running at the same time.
    1) to date: november 13
    2) to 13: november 17
    3) to 0: november 30
(math could be off as my filled sinuses make me even see mice running across my screen. I hate flu.)

how is today 13, puppy? if we simply go on these tailend numbers
in the source groupings we have only counted down to 17..
i see a straight on countdown
are you looking at the calendar date?
Quote:

<!-- Rebirth. Tenth. Movie. Twenty Four. --> = 24
<!-- 2453705.45325-23 --> = 23
<!-- 334-22 --> = 22
<!-- 7 * 3 --> = 21
<!-- =+ --> = 20 (somehow although we don't know how)
<!-- +9 --> = 19
<!-- &#43&#47&#92 --> = 18 (somehow although, again, we don't know)
<!-- +7 --> = 17


also i'm working on some splinternail stuff that's led me down a few,
what i think are, OOG paths that seem to lead into the S & M world--
the plot thickens or slaps you in the face and you like it!
hmmm.. ouch.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<!-- &#61 * &#47 &#92 -->


edit: i assume some part of the above translates to 16.. 61 backwards?
